i choose to be 100% honest. i arrived in the πΊπΈ with 3 diagnosed autoimmune conditions, a 4th was confirmed in late June of 2022 (1. Autoimmune Thyroiditis 2. Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria 3. Churg Strauss/EGPA- a rare, complicated form of vasculitis 4. Systemic Sclerosis and this 2024 i was diagnosed with 5. SLE/Lupus and 6. Rheumatoid Arthritis.) We are still waiting for the results of 2 more autoimmune conditions.
I thank all of you for your prayers.
MARAMING SALAMAT PO SA INYONG PATULOY NA MALASAKIT AT SUPORTA.
The reason i decided to go home is because i need to start my second immunosuppressant infusions in 2-3 weeks (itβs a gentler term for chemotherapy). Emotionally i need the encouragement and unwavering faith my sisters & cousins, closest friends, and trusted team of doctors can provideβ¦ sadly what was the BATTLE TO IMPROVE MY HEALTH is now THE STRUGGLE TO PROTECT MY VITAL ORGANS. This is now the FIGHT OF MY LIFE.
There are so many i wish to thank, our OC friends who became our adoptive family. The @flypal team, my 2 Fil-Am close friends Dr. Henry & Dr. Titus, and MY Dr. MP, my 3 best friends @michaelleyva_ , @lenalonte, and @annebinay (kuya josh is staying with ANNE for a few more weeks), my FILAM nurses (Mike, Cara, Patricia) and my source of strength, and Godβs biggest blessing, my βBIMBβ. They are flying home with me. A longer gratitude post when we get home.
Bawal Sumuko. Tuloy po ang #Laban.
